Highway 50 Fuels Reduction Project

This project reduced the risk of catastrophic fire and resulting damage to communities by reducing wildland fuels within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). The project areas were all located within the Defense Zone of the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District WUI and are all immediately adjacent to U.S. Forest Service Lands that have been treated. The project was composed of 138 acres over 6 units. The largest unit was a 100 acre property located between the communities of Round Hill and Zephyr Heights. The other units average 7 acres and was located within communities along Highway 50 from Stateline to near Glenbrook.
